Let’s go to … Hastingshttps://www.theguardian.com/travel/2015/feb/10/hastings-east-sussex-weekend-break
<p>There’s more to Hastings than groynes and medieval history: a wave of new openings and its megabucks pier are giving the seaside town a revamp<br><strong>• <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2015/jan/13/rye-east-sussex-weekend-break">Let’s go to … Rye, East Sussex</a></strong></p><p><strong>Why Hastings?</strong><br>Move over Brighton … With a new cookery school, artisan shops, gourmet food and modern art, the Sussex seaside town has gone cool. And this summer its pier, in the final stages of a £14m renovation, will add film festivals and farmers’ markets to the mix.</p><p><strong>So what can I do</strong>?<br>A day out in Hastings once meant crazy golf and funiculars.

Sally Shalam relaxes in the comfort of a seaside B&amp;B where detail is everything<p>Thanks to my new travelling companion, Sat Nav Sean the Irishman, finding Black Rock House is a breeze – and I can park right outside on this wide avenue of smart Victorian brick residences in an elevated position above Hastings town centre. Hello – bit of building work going on here, or maybe someone's doing the garden? There are some freshly dug beds and a very new-looking terrace out front. Won't be using that just yet – there's a stiff easterly. I'm racing up those steps to the front door.</p><p>Tracey-Anne, who co-owns Black Rock House with partner Lesley, opens the door wide. You know how some places make you relax instantly? Well this is one of them. Calling the interior "seasidey" would do it a disservice. Shown into the sitting room, I find restful seascape shades, duck-egg, dove grey, and sink into a sofa by a small log fire while Tracey-Anne goes to fix tea.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2010/jun/05/black-rock-house-hastings-review">Continue reading...</a>HotelsSussex holidaysBed and breakfastsTravelShort breaksWeekend breaksFood and drinkHastings holidaysEngland holidaysFri, 04 Jun 2010 23:05:45 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2010/jun/05/black-rock-house-hastings-reviewPhotograph: PR'Some places make you relax instantly' ...

<p>I must apologise to Linda of Harlow. In the visitors' book at Swan House she has written: "Torn between wanting to tell everyone about it and keeping it a secret." Sorry, Linda, but the cat's well and truly out of the bag now. I'm flicking through the book at breakfast and every guest who has penned a comment seems to feel something akin to a prospector who has struck gold. </p><p>Swan House is in the medieval hotchpotch of Hastings old town. Searching for my quarry on Hill Street, the evening before, I amble alongside a black-and-white cottage with three windows set so low in the wall they are almost nudging the pavement. Two give a tantalising view of a beamed sitting room with pale sofas, painted floorboards and a grand fireplace within. A candelabra adorned with leaf-green barley-twist candles is framed in another, almost commanding passers-by to stop for a closer look. Then I realise this is all a clever tease - Swan House is etched on glass by the front door and I am going to get a close-up. </p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jul/14/saturday.hotels1">Continue reading...</a>TravelHotelsRest and relaxationShort breaksUnited Kingdom holidaysHastings holidaysEngland holidaysSat, 14 Jul 2007 15:16:56 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jul/14/saturday.hotels1Photograph: PRStriking gold ...

<p><strong>The Zanzibar International hotel, Hastings</strong><br>9 Eversfield Place (01424 460109; <a href="http://www.zanzibarhotel.co.uk">www.zanzibarhotel.co.uk</a>)</p><p>A silent, grey, Sunday, so off to the south coast. The road from Hastings station to the seafront is full of junk shops with photos of missing persons staring out the windows. A huge orange cardboard star in a pub door promises 'meat raffle every Tuesday'. By the time I tread in dog shit on the 1930s concrete esplanade I'm already humming the Morrissey song about 'the seaside town they forgot to close down'.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2006/apr/16/unitedkingdom.hotels.observerescape">Continue reading...</a>United Kingdom holidaysTravelHotelsHastings holidaysEngland holidaysSun, 16 Apr 2006 11:52:33 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2006/apr/16/unitedkingdom.hotels.observerescapeTom Robbins2006-04-16T11:52:33Z
